About this map

Toledo Bend Reservoir dominates this borderland landscape, where the waters of the Sabine River divide Texas and Louisiana. The terrain is characterized by the inlets and fingers of the reservoir, carving out high points like Merritt Mtn and dramatic shorelines at Stone Coal Bluff and Goodloe Bluff. Much of the eastern shore is protected within the Sabine National Forest, preserving the wooded character of Sabine Parish.

Tracing the local geography reveals historical footprints such as Sabinetown and its associated Sabinetown Cem, along with Harper's Chapel Cem further inland. The map documents the primary crossing at Pendleton Bridge, a vital link between the two states. The network of local roads, including El Camino Rd and Mavis Rd, serves small lakeside communities like Turtle Beach, reflecting the region's shift toward recreation and conservation in the modern era.
